Description Suggest change

Reasonably enjoyable route on (mostly) solid limestone. Lots of jugs, a couple of pockets, and a few small crimpers. If you stay off the arete the rock is solid; on the arete itself there is some loose stuff.

The crux is getting to and past the second bolt; unfortunately, because of a tree at the base of the route, falling from very far above the first bolt would be a bad thing.

This isn't a great top rope because it angles to the left; however, we TR'd it after leading it by leaving the rope through the draws and belaying from the base of Jugular (on the left side of the tree).

Location Suggest change

On The Hidden Wall there are 4 obvious, bolted routes just 15 feet or so from the main Rock Canyon trail. The two routes on the left are 5.10d's, the two routes on the right are a 5.8 and this 5.9. This route is to the immediate right of Jugular and shares anchors with it. There is a tree between the routes' starts; this 5.9 is to the right of the tree.

Protection Suggest change

7 bolts to hanger-and-ring anchors (shared with Jugular)
